Add-on Updater 20.06.2 coming this weekend, last version to support NVDA 2019.3 and a notice on legacy add-ons to be shown
#addonrelease
Hi all,
Add-on Updater 20.06.2 is on its way, to be released either today or tomorrow (likely later today). This release includes two major changes:
Regarding the second item: whenever all features from an add-on is included in NVDA, a notice like this will show up in the future. This can only occur if the author of the would-be legacy add-on informs the community that the add-on is no longer needed. The notice itself will be sent out a few months after legacy declaration takes place, likely around the time the successor NVDA version is in circulation.
For example, suppose NVDA 2020.3 includes all features from Resource Monitor add-on (hypothetically speaking). If that ever happens (unlikely), I will declare it as a legacy add-on around the time NVDA 2020.3 stable version comes out. A few months later (around the time NVDA 2020.4 shows up), I’ll include a notice in Add-on Updater saying that Resource Monitor should be removed.
Cheers, Joseph |

Re: SPL/NVDA
Hi, Responded on NVDA-SPL list, but in case folks here are not members of that list: this is caused by track comments file becoming corrupted somehow. I’ll write a workaround at the cost of losing track comments. Cheers, Joseph

Re: NVDA and MathML, specifically for Chemistry Markup Language [Subscripts in Particular]
Andy,
This particular group does not allow attachments. You can try using the "Reply to Sender" link at the end of one of Greg's messages to send that attachment directly to him, and I believe this will work. If you want to test that out, use the Reply to Sender link at the end of this message to send something, anything, to me as an attachment and I'll let you know whether it makes it or not. I believe Groups.io strips only for on-group content when that's the chosen option, but not for private messaging. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

Re: NVDA and MathML, specifically for Chemistry Markup Language [Subscripts in Particular]
Andy Keyworth
Hi Greg,
Thank you for your response.
I have MathPlayer already installed; unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to make any difference. When I test these pages (in NVDA and JAWS across multiple browsers), I’m only hosting them on my local machine, not a web server. Non-chemistry MathML seems to display and be read fine by NVDA, at least in FireFox. But MathPlayer doesn’t seem to make any noticeable difference. Any advice on what I could change would be appreciated. Please see a demo sample attached as a ZIP to this email.
Thanks,

Hi Andy, Do you have MathPlayer installed? NVDA uses MathPlayer to read MathML, and it generally reads chemical equations in an unambiguous understandable form although not necessarily the same way that a chemist might read it out loud. If you have MathPlayer installed, and it is not reading the subscripts, can you send an example of a webpage where it is not being read, and I can take a look. Greg

NVDA Freezing/Crashing with Office 365 - Word and Outlook
Declan Meenagh
Hello everyone. I am having some issues with Office 365 and NVDA. I find that word randomly crashes, freezes NVDA and NVDA won’t talk until word is killed, I am also finding that while running NVDA, if I switch to a different email account in outlook, it crashes. Running windows 10 on a high spec computer. I know someone else talked about this previously and I tried doing the online repair of office. It seems to make the word thing happen less, but the outlook thing is still happening. I tried a fresh install of NVDA and disabling all ad-ons. Any help would be appreciated Thanks |

Have you saved your NVDA configuration? Otherwise it will go back to the previously saved configuration

Hi
Every time I recieve what is classed as a Quality Update under Windows update log, I lose my chosen nvda voice. How can I stop this happening?
I do know how to get the voice back, thanks to Luke Davis, but it's a rigmorol that I would prefer not to have to do.

i think that's what happened. Zdsr must have installed something. I was astonished when I saw that, by selecting Seika, my display was recognized immediately, while earlier i had to leav it on Automatic, and then I had the problems I described earlier. I was forced to use an old pm 40, with half of the cells half dead... Now realing braille feels like Paradise on earth! lol Unfortunately, all the suff within that screen reader is in Chinese, so I have no idea what can have been installed... I'll ask around in the forum, and see what I can find out. Ciao, Ollie On 18/06/2020 18:55, Simone Dal Maso wrote:
